Patch Panel ?
I am having a little trouble finding out how far this pillar patch comes down in comparison to the brace in the pic. Do these holes line up exactly? I know some of you guys have done this allready. Any help is much appreciated.

Re: Patch Panel ?
VT- I was thinking of using the top bolt for the rocker box support as a reference point. I will try to post a pic. Thanks for your help.

Re: Patch Panel ?
your local nut and bolt should have the square nuts they are cheeep. as for the referance I went to home depot and bought a tool that wood workers use to find molding shapes. just use the outside bed panel for referance transfer that to paper.

Re: Patch Panel ?
I would use the body crease on the lower fender as a reference, this will set the elevation
